Giancarlo Pacenti’s 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is another superb wine

especially in a classic vintage such as this

but a little further along in evolution

Subtle aromas of plums

the Alpine is positively stellar today

Quintarelli, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Vintage:2011 Giancarlo Pacenti’s 2010 Brunello diThe 2003 is an unusually bold, ripe version of the Valpolicella Classico Superiore. Black cherries, plums, mocha and spices all flesh out in this exuberant wine. The warmth of the vintage is felt in the wines contours and early appeal. My suggestion is to drink the 2003 over the next few years. As always, the style is a bit eccentric, as the 2003 spent a good six years in cask. Antonio Galloni
